Phys.org / Do you know how cynical your friends are?
New research from Michigan State University finds that people often project their own levels of cynicism—the belief that people are only interested in themselves and aren't sincere—onto their friends and consistently underestimate ...
Science X / Morning coffee may give early Parkinson's brains an unexpected edge where everyday thinking starts to slip
Forgetting familiar faces, struggling to make simple decisions, or taking longer than usual to respond to stimuli are just a few examples of how cognitive decline can appear in everyday moments for many people with Parkinson's ...
Phys.org / Uncovering the link between epigenetic modifications and chromatin structure
Certain epigenetic modifications can directly control how genetic material is packed in the nucleus, RIKEN researchers have shown. This has important implications for our understanding of how genes are expressed in different ...
Phys.org / When noisy decision-making becomes a strategic advantage
A new study shows that apparently erratic or "sloppy" behavior in strategic situations is not necessarily a mistake. Under certain conditions, being less sensitive to one's own gains can become a long-term advantage.
Tech Xplore / Holographic light engine boosts tissue-like 3D printing efficiency by 70 times
In 2025, EPFL scientists published an improved approach to tomographic volumetric additive manufacturing (TVAM): a 3D printing method that uses laser light to harden a rotating vial of photosensitive resin into a desired ...
Phys.org / Tritium-infused graphene could sharpen the hunt for neutrino mass
While neutrinos are some of the most abundant particles in the universe, they remain among the least understood. One of the biggest puzzles is their mass: although experiments have shown that neutrinos must have some mass, ...
Medical Xpress / ACC issues decision pathway for postpartum cardiovascular care
A new Expert Consensus Decision Pathway by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) provides recommended strategies for improving postpartum care for individuals with and at risk for short- and long-term cardiovascular disease ...
Tech Xplore / Robotic collective flows like matter, adapting without centralized control
Cornell engineers have developed a robotic collective that behaves less like a machine and more like a material that flows, reshapes, and adapts to its environment without centralized control. The system, called the Cross-Link ...
Medical Xpress / Smartphone data predict smoking cravings and lapses, with potential to treat addiction and other conditions
Minuscule movement patterns collected from smartphones and often undetectable to humans have been used to predict cravings and compulsive behaviors with groundbreaking accuracy—potentially offering timely and bespoke treatment ...
Medical Xpress / Simple blood test could catch Alzheimer's and Parkinson's early by spotting misfolded proteins
For the first time, therapeutically effective medications are now available for Alzheimer's disease. Effective symptomatic therapies also exist for Parkinson's disease; however, a prerequisite for successful treatment is ...
Phys.org / Unclear tasks and command structures may increase fatigue in disaster responders
The frequency of natural disasters is increasing, and hence disaster responders are called on more than ever before. During disaster response, the focus of health and well-being is typically on the residents of the disaster-impacted ...
Phys.org / A de-extinction company has hatched live chicks from an artificial eggshell
A biotech company that aims to resurrect lost creatures said Tuesday it has hatched live chicks in an artificial environment—a development that was met with mixed reviews from scientists and critics of its de-extinction mission.
